[Sage?] the Empress asked.
"That's right, she said most people call her that," Li Yao said. "Though you probably shouldn't take her word for it, she didn't seem that well off up there," Li Yao added.
The Empress had her hand on her chin. She wondered who would actually dare to call themselves a sage. In the celestial realm, the god realm was known as the peak of cultivation and the strongest one could be. And it might as well be as one had completely mastered a law and could do pretty much anything, of course, within the restrictions of the heavenly dao.
But there was also a myth that was told. It went that if one could master their law completely and then transcend it, they would ascend and become a sage. She didn't really believe the story as how could one possibly transcend laws? They were what made up all of existence. To transcend law, wouldn't that mean being something on the same level as the heavenly dao?
